Well I must say in this rare occasion I think Clarkson is wrong, the car is a joy to drive and I'm enjoying it.
I've owned 2 slk,s wasn't impressed with handling, 4 tt,s love them, boxster engine is crap,
Most people think a 2 seater sports car should feel every bump in the road, the crossfire to me is tuned just enough to let you drive it daily without the need for a chiropractor , whilst retaining the handling, stiff chassis and plenty of power,

Anyhow there is 1 thing that has upset me!
Here's the scenario.
I'm at 130mph the spoiler is up, someone in a silly loud car is close to flat out behind me,
I've had enough of listening to there exhaust note,
I floor it, the crossfire shifts down a gear, lovely,,
I reach for the spoiler button to wave goodbye :-)
It won't operate manually because it up and wants to be there,,

Has anyone added a mod to wave the spoiler, maybe a timer relay and extra button?

Cheers
Barks
So at 130 mph you think that something that keeps the car stable should be flapped up and down?
To top it all you will be driving with one hand, makes a lot of sense to me ..................... not.
It was with those speeds in mind that the spoilers had to be added to these cars.
